The actress, 71, who rose to fame in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me alongside Sir Roger Moore, looked equally stylish in a bright purple blazer and matching headband.
She layered her look with a white blouse and opted for elegant black trousers and shoes.
Percy, the longest-lasting of Joan’s husbands, is more than 30 years younger than her, a gap she dismisses in interviews with the line: ‘If he dies, he dies.’
The long-standing couple celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a star-studded party at Claridge’s last year.
Originally from Peru, Percy is a noted Hollywood producer, known primarily for producing Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

Now however Joan has found the right man and even joked to Jonathan Ross in 2020 that her marriage to Percy had run as long as the previous four marriages combined.
It comes after she shared a group snap from her ‘fabulous’ Coronation party last weekend as she celebrated with a host of famous faces.
The actress took to Instagram last week to share the snap as they all enjoyed dinner at the Wolseley with her husband Percy and pals.
Joan was joined by Christopher Biggins, former actress Yvonne Romain, entrepreneur Ivan Massow, Theo and Louise Fennell and journalist Andrew Neil.
They all looked like they were having a great time as they donned crowns to mark the day King Charles III was officially coronated.
Joan penned in the caption of her post: ‘Our own fabulous #coronation #celebration at the Wolseley with a host of #greatfriends @biggins.christopher @oneneilsin @ivanmassow @fennelltheo @louise.fennell @hazelcollins8000 @alisonpapworth Andrew Pierce, Russell Tanguay, Evie Bricusse, #brother Bill and @alexsilverpr.’
It comes after Dame Joan performed a cheeky impersonation of King Charles and teased details of his alleged comments about her ahead of his Coronation.
Speaking to Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard on Good Morning Britain, she revealed: ‘I’d met him a few times. In fact, he wrote about me in his book – I can’t say what it is on morning TV because it’s a bit naughty.’
She appeared to allude to the claims in Christopher Anderson’s book The King: The Life of Charles III, that the monarch once wrote in a letter that Dame Joan had ‘an unbelievable cleavage… all raised up and presented as if on a tray’.
Joan also chatted about the moment Charles gave her a Damehood and said how charming he was as she discussed the ceremony in 2015.
The star went on to mimic his voice, adding: ‘He has such a deep voice. He said ‘and about time too.’
The legendary actress, who played a part in the Coronation festivities, revealed she has met Charles a few times.
The Dame then shared her own hopes for the Coronation Day, saying: ‘I hope we all have a wonderful time and that it doesn’t rain.’
As the royal discussion continued, Ben asked Joan if she thought Charles could have followed in her acting footsteps.
Joan replied: ‘I think he could have. He certainly has the looks for it and let’s face it the royals certainly have to do a lot of acting.’
The screen star has been busy in other aspects of her life, speaking to Kate and Ben about writing her memoir which she released in 2022.
She admitted that it had been a very fun project to do as she looked back over her eventful life.
Dame Joan said: ‘It’s been hilarious I’ve been combing my memory for funny things that happened.
‘I was talking to Biggins the other day and he reminded me about the time we got trapped on an island in Corfu with Stella and no water.’
